Yep, I believe that the counter will only increment when you flash a non-stock ROM with ODIN

I second that.
Wouldn't boot at first, then I booted into CWM and cleared cache and dalvik cache then it booted right up. I don't know if that fixed it or what, but that was the first thing that came to mind in my trouble shooting.
EDIT: Also dropped my battery from about 45 to 8%... 0_o

Saw the free version but paid for the Google play version instead. Worked!

This app was out long before lol. But good you put it out here..coz lot of people seem not to know bout this OLD app.
I did not know about this at all.. lol. Tried today and works like a charm. I am using Captivate X4 btw.
4.2.2 and Gapps Guinea Pig
I'm running AoCP-i777-CP53s with gapps-4.2.2-jb-3.4.2013-signed. I'm gonna try it. Will be back soon I hope! LOL
Absolutely. I took the plunge. I'm running CM9 latest nightly, with the UCLC2 baseband, and whatever Kernel comes with CM9...
It also says on the Play Store page that our device (SGH-I777) is in fact supported.

No it doesnt. Triangle Away wont even load on an i777 running stock JB. All it does is tell you it cant find the partition it needs, allows you to create a dump file to send to Chainfire, and then closes.
He removed support for it quite awhile ago.

12FINALLY. Reset the flash counter WITHOUT A JIG! No more stupid triangle at boot! =) - WITH AN APP BY CHAINFIRE.
Found this over on the I9100 forums... works great on our device as long as you're running an ICS 4.0+ build. CM9 included.
DO NOT ATTEMPT IF YOU'RE RUNNING GINGERBREAD BASED ROMS - YOU RISK A TOTAL BRICK!!!

The app is called "Triangle Away" and is available on the Play Store for $2... or for free on the XDA page linked above.
(apparently this was already posted a few weeks back... I searched... Oh wells.)1
Worked like a charm! Very quick, very easy... awesome! Good find, chainfire is legit. =)Please... Report back your findings.

Not only did I have problems getting into CWM, my phone would not boot at all. Went to the Samsung Galaxy SII logo and wouldn't go any further. It wouldn't turn off by the button, had to pull the battery. I let it sit at the logo for 20 minutes, finally gave up and got into download mode and re flashed. Definitely looks like I am in the minority that had issues with this. And I can't say for sure that this app was the problem, although i hadn't had any issues until this was installed, and this was the first time the phone had been off since installing it.1
not afaik.
i thought the flash counter only counted for odin installs, but i could be wrong. anyways i'm running that rom and have been updating a lot too... still not yellow triangle.
